The Sindh Superior Court, put aside the judicial return of Armaghan, the main suspect in the case of Mustafa Amir murder, and ordered the formation of a body of investigation on the matter.
Amir, a 23 -year -old, was kidnapped and allegedly killed by his friends in the Karachi Defense Housing Authority (DHA) on January 6. According to the police, the friends of the young people put their body in the trunk of their car and set it on the area of the center of Baluchistan.
Earlier this month, the police arrested a man named Armaghan for hurting the police in an attempt to resist his arrest in relation to the case of kidnapping of Amir. Another suspect, Armaghan’s friend, Sheraz, also known as Shavez Bukhari, was sent in police custody by an anti -terrorism court (ATC) last week.
The Interim Attorney General of Sindh, Muntazir Mehdi, on behalf of the Government of Sindh, had submitted review requests at the SHC, challenging ATC orders that deny Armaghan’s physical custody of Armaghan and sent it to judicial rowns.
After issuing notices to the respondents yesterday on those pleas, a bank of two members headed by Judge Zafar Ahmed Rajput resumed the hearing today.
Armaghan, according to yesterday’s orders, appeared before the Court. His father, Kamran Qureshi, was also present in the court and brought fruits for his son, claiming that the latter had been tortured during his detention.
Mehdi, Additional Attorney (APG) Muhammad Iqbal Awan, the current Investigation Inspector (IO) Muhammad Ali and the previous IO Ameer Ashfaq also appeared before the bank, along with other police officers.
During the hearing, Mehdi, Apg Awan and Io Ashfaq presented their disputes before the judges. The additional attorney general sought the physical custody of Armaghan for greater investigation.
The court reserved its verdict today and then issued a verdict, a copy of which it was seen by Dawn.comallowing the replicas of review presented by the Police and leaving aside the ATC orders of February 10 and February 11.
The SHC also ordered Armaghan to be presented before an ATC No. II in Karachi today for new orders in “the four remumption reports.”
On January 12, the Local Police recovered a carbonized body in a hub burned car, after which the un claimed body was buried in Edhi’s cemetery in Karachi on January 16.
Amir’s family received a rescue call two weeks after his kidnapping of January 6, that the Crime Investigation Agency (CIA) said it was “deceiving” the researchers.
A judicial magistrate yesterday allowed a request that sought the exhumation of Amir’s body and ordered the provincial secretary of Health to constitute a medical board to determine the cause of his death.
In addition to the murder case, the first information reports (FIR) against Armaghan have also been presented by police during the February 8 shooting and the recovery of imported illegal weapons.
Three Junior Police officers, including the station officer (SHO), of the Darakhshan police station, were suspended and degraded last week for their “attitude that was not professional.” The inspector General of Police (PGI) Ghulam Nabi Memon also detailed several “disadvantages” faced by police during the investigation of the case.
